"This place looks like it's seen better days..." Sarge muttered as he entered the ruins of the destroyed castle.
The walls looked as if they ere ready to collapse at any second if not for the vines that seemed to be holding them in place. Cobwebs were strewn about over every crevice and crack, giving the walls a feel much like the Archaic Wing in Canterlot. At the end of the room was a large statue that had a large sphere on top. underneath that sphere the statue branched off in five directions, and at the tip of each branch was a small platform that had a small dip to hold other spheres.
"Ah, without the elements in place it looks so much more barren in here." The Necronomicon smiled. "I love it."
"Where is the entrance?" Grif asked as he approached the statue.
"Underneath that."
"Yeah, good luck moving that." Grif chuckled. "It must weigh a ton."
A bat came down from the ceiling and landed on Grif's face.
"Holy shit a bat!" Grif cried, going on his hind legs and flailing his fore legs. "Get it off, get it off!"
Grif took a step back and hit a tile, which suddenly sunk in the ground, causing the statue to slowly start moving back. The bat then flew off his face and went out the window.
"One of the idiots found out!" The Necronomicon said with fake excitement. "Hold on, maybe I have some dog treats you can have."
"Is it gone?" Grif asked, now on his back.
"Get up." Sarge grunted, kicking him in the ribs.
"Ow, my ribs!"
"You are all idiots." The Necronomicon sighed. "Every one of you."
"So it's down there, huh?" Rainbow Dash asked, flying towards the entrance of the catacombs. "It's pretty dark down there."
"Oh I wonder why? Maybe because nopony has been down here for over a millennium."
Twilight approached the stairs and felt a certain power emanating from below.
"You feel it call for you, don't you?"
"What?" Twilight asked, breaking focus on the stairs.
"The magic from the room down there. Certainly brings back memories, like opening a scrapbook!" The Necronomicon sniffled before coughing and turning around. "Why did I just say scrapbook?"
"Seems like Caboose is rubbing off on you." Church began to chuckle.
"Let's hurry, I don't feel like staying in here for much longer." The Necronomicon said, face pale.
"Give me a moment." Twilight said, using her magic to grant the others the ability to see in the dark. "There we are."
The Necronomicon nodded and began walking down the stairs. The others took a few seconds to get ready and began to follow him into the bowels of the castle.
"Are we there yet?" Grif yawned after several minutes of walking down the stairs.
"Almost." The Necronomicon nodded.
After what seemed like half an hour the Necronomicon came to a stop.
"Is this it?" Rainbow Dash asked as she bumped into the Necronomicon.
"No, now we have to keep going down the steps that aren't there." The Necronomicon said with mild annoyance.
The room lit up due to Twilight casting another spell, showing everything that was held in the room. There were two stone slabs located in the middle of the room with six statues of ponies facing the slabs.
"Who are they?" Twilight asked curiously.
"Them?" The Necronomicon chuckled. "They're the watchers."
"The watchers?"
"They were supposed to come to life when and if I was taken out of here, but for some reason they didn't." The Necronomicon said as he laid on one of the stone slabs. "Oh well, place me next to me."
"Are you sure they won't come back if we take you out again?" Rarity asked.
"They would have already if they sensed me come back, so I'm going to say yes I'm sure."
Twilight nodded and placed the book next to him. A red mist came out of Caboose's lips and slwoly enveloped the book. Caboose's body went still and the Necronomicon opened it's eyes.
"There we are." The Necronomicon chuckled. "Now lay on the other slab and open me."
"Yeah." Church muttered as he laid on the slab.
"This looks like something out of a horror movie." Tucker grunted.
"Twilight, give it to me." Church said, holding out his hoof.
Twilight grabbed the Necronomicon and began making her way over to Church, but stopped a few feet away from him.
"Hurry up, I'm beginning to feel a little stiff."
"Bow chicka bow wow."
"Shut the fuck up." Church muttered. He then pulled his hoof towards his chest. "Come on, what are you waiting for?"
Twilight edged towards Church and reluctantly gave him the book, before stepping back and looking at the ground.
"So do you know for a fact this will work?" Church asked.
"It wouldn't be fun if I knew that." The Necronomicon said giddily. "Let's go. Open me. Openmeopenmeopenm-"
"I will if you shut up."
"Okay." The Necronomicon said sadly.
"So is there any specific page?"
"When you open me you will find the page you need.'
Church opened the book and a a dark mist shot out of the book and began sinking into Church. Twilight ran towards him before finding herself flung backwards by a magical force.
"Now I know this looks bad, but this is just the process." The Necronomicon said as Church began floating in the air. "It has to look evil otherwise everypony will do it."
After a few seconds the mist came out of Church and went back into the book.
"Okay, I'm going to need one of you to catch me on three. One. Two..."
The Necronomicon then landed on the floor between the two slabs and grunted.
"Darn, timing was off."
A small white light appeared on Church's chest. The light grew to twice it's size and flew towards Caboose, where it landed on his chest. A small beam came out of Church's chest and connected with the light, linking the two of them together.
"Might want to cover your ears." The Necronomicon laughed.
Caboose quickly sat up and began to yell which made the group cover their ears.
"It really is quite a painful process, though we are nearing the end so do not worry."
Caboose stopped yelling and fell on his back, eyes wide open.
"Caboose?" Twilight asked in a hushed voice.
"Oh hello Twilight! Where are we?" Caboose asked with a laugh. "This place sure is spooky. Hey look a book!"
Caboose trotted up the book and picked it up with his teeth.
"Put me down this instant!" The Necronomicon said harshly.
"Oh my gosh it talks! Do I get three wishes?" Caboose asked hastily. "For my first wish I would like some ice cream. For my second wish I want a second bowl of ice cream. And-"
"I am not a genie!" The Necronomicon shouted.
"But I didn't even get to say my third wish." Caboose pouted.
"Fine, what is your third wish?"
"I wish you were a talking book!"
"Granted." The Necronomicon said sarcastically. "Now onto-"
"It worked!" Caboose jumped up and down. "Where is my ice cream?"
Suddenly, another beam shot out of Church's chest, this time towards Tucker.
"Son of a bitch!" Tucker yelled, jumping to the ground.
The beam shot over Tucker and struck the wall where it soon began to ricochet between all the objects in the room. After a few seconds it bounced off of one of the statues and hit Church in the chest, causing him to fall off the slab.
"Ow my chest!" Church yelled, clutching his chest.
"Church!" Twilight yelled, running to his side. "Are you okay? You're not hurt are you?"
"Yeah, I'm-" Church stopped mid sentence and began to shake.
"Church?" Twilight asked nervously.
Church did not reply, instead he started to scream.
"What's happening to him?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Put him on the slab." The Necronomicon said quickly.
"Wha-"
"Put him on the slab now!" The Necronomicon snapped.
Rainbow Dash nodded and quickly dragged Tucker to Church where they hastily put him on the slab. Church continued to scream, voice clearly beginning to strain.
"What's wrong with him?" Tucker asked. "Is he going crazy again?"
"No, this is something else." The Necronomicon said, beginning to panic.
Church slammed his eyes shut and his body went limp on the slab. The group stared silently at Church, waiting for him to get back up.
"Church?" Caboose asked, poking him in the tummy.
Church's eyes shot open, this time several beams shot out of his chest and began hitting everything in the room.
"Everyone get down!" Twilight yelled as she jumped to the ground, everybody in the room quickly followed her lead.
The sound of the beams hitting everything quickly came to a stop and Twilight raised her head and began to look around the room. She felt something was off but she couldn't find the reason why. She turned her attention back to Church, who was now sitting up and panting heavily.
"What happened?" Church asked quietly.
"You got hit by one of those beams an-"
"Shh." Church hissed. "Do you hear that?"
"Hear what?" Twilight asked, trying to hear anything out of place.
"The voices."
"Voices?"
Church slowly turned to the statues and squinted his eyes. The girls looked at each other, feeling a large sense of unease pass through each of them.
"Them. They sound familiar..." Church said, before his eyes shot open and he turned around. "We need to get out."
"I think Church went crazy." Rainbow Dash said quietly, trying to pull Twilight away from Church.
The six statues that surrounded the slabs suddenly exploded in a mist of dust and rock, and in each of their place was a pony each one a different color and build.
"Should we run?" Rarity asked.
One of the living statues, which was now a red earth pony, snarled and charged towards the group. The pony had a certain fire in his eye that made the guys feel extremely disturbed.
"Yes, yes we should." Simmons said nervously.
Another one of the other living statues jumped off of its pedestal, but this one landed in front of the enraged pony. It turned it's head to face Church, showing a pair of eyes that appeared to be flickering between black and green.
"Run Epsilon!" The green unicorn snapped, using its magic to throw the red earth pony into the wall.
The group didn't need to be told twice so they quickly began running towards the stairs. But Church simply stared at the green unicorn, who was now trying to fend off the other living statues.
"Blue get your ass in gear!" Sarge yelled.
Church ignored Sarge and began walking towards the green unicorn.
"What is he doing?" Grif asked.
"Delta?" Church croaked.
Search for Red vs Blue Bronies and join this group if you haven't already.
Once Season 10 is over I will be doing a random draw of all the members of that group and I will send a copy of the Season 10 dvd to whoever gets picked.
I also decided to make this chapter longer than usual on account of I love you.
PS Kevin sent me.
So much awesomeness!
Oh, and the red one is Omega, isn't it?
OMFG AMAZING...wait if his memory fragments are now out...he could like assimilate them and become Alpha again...i am a genious
682851
That would be the obvious route.
Kevin sent you too? Me too!
also, nice comeback with Delta as one of the statues.
Im starting to thing those statues are the meta, I could be wrong though
I knew the fragments would come back! I KNEW IT!
I'm gonna guess the enraged pony is Omega
GAHAHAHAH! I FREAKING LOVE THIS!
EDIT: it's not letting me join th' damm group. WTF.
Wait, if all the AI's are back, wouldn't that mean Tex is back too?
OH SHIT
boomtron.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/The-End-of-Time-doctor-who.jpg
I thought that Delta was too damn calm to fight anything.
The red pony is Sigma, the A.I. that made Meta go insane, Darkwing gave it away when he said there was a "fire" in it's eyes.
I was wondering when the the other A.I.s would get involved.
682915
"There is a difference between fighting and defending."
Soooo awesome! Damn right these were unforeseen events. By the way, the chapter title is a typo, and you missed an end quote after:
"Okay, I'm going to need one of you to catch me on three. One. Two.
682807
I'm not sure about other groups, but it doesn't let me join this one...
EDIT: Also, was scrolling back up and noticed error.
The green unicorn snapped, using it's magic to throw the red earth pony into the wall.
"it's" is an abbreviation of "it is".
Dat apostrophe should not be there; The word should be "its".
Otherwise, you get to keep this...
The green unicorn snapped, using it is magic to throw the red earth pony into the wall.
at first i thought the familiar voices were lopez, donut, doc, and washington.
I knew you would not disappoint aaaaand I KNEW NECKY WASN'T EVIL! Take THAT Necky doubters Necronomicon FTW! Also if the A.I.'s are back does that mean Tex is back.? If she is she wouldn't believe Church if he told her he killed Carolina, that's if she's back of course. Will she be back but as a pony instead? If she is will she beat the crap out of them like the good ol' days? Or is she not going to be there at all? *sigh* So many questions so little answers.
682807 For some reason, it's not letting me join.
This is an amazing chapter with Necky's sarcasm and Caboose coming back!
finally out of the darkness and into the light...of comedy
683165
Bwuh?
Wachutalkinboutwillis?
682860 Which is why its probably not going to happen...actually knowing you it will, but will make some type of like story arc in a story arc just to scew with us
DAMN YOU CLIFFHANGERS!!!!
Shh do you hear that?
The Voices.
That wouldn't happen to be a Dr. Richtofen reference to zombies would it?
HOLY FUCKNUGGETS DIS GON B GUD!
P.S. Yay Caboose is back!
YEEEEEEEES! This pleases me. Greatly
wait if all the other AI 's are out then would that mean tex is out as well?
Whooo epic update. I'm so happy Caboose is back!!
683825

683197
Dude you're tottaly watching Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
Such an awesome cartoon.
And this chapter was badass and I wouldn't be surprised if this does land on roosterteeh.com.
A few guys at roosterteeth are in fact bronies.
ohsnap.ca/img/thumbnails/oh-snap.jpg
Nothing more needs saying.
682863 i would put my money on the angry, snarling, faster acting one as meta, though i had a small hope that delta was tex i love tex, but i find delta funny as hell though hell isent vary funny... of wait i loved cupcakes so maybe hell is funny heaven has muffins though wait a sec... but earth and equestria have muffins so i can live!!!! dont dare try and take my muffins im just rammbaling now sorry, but i gotta say, spell cheaker is a drunk mans best friend... after pinkie of course!... and aj... and rare... and twily... and R.D... and shy... and vinyl... and octy... and tia... you see where this is going... imma shut up now
683169 SOMEONE KNOWS ABOUT WILLIS YAY!!!!
682997 you hurt my brain...
I got a lucky guess when i mentaly put a voice on the "Green Eyed Statue" when he said for Church to run
681006 Finally finished the recording of chapter 10 - 15. God, I need to do real work. I've been stuck with my crappy history homework. And I still am, because apparently Google doesn't know how to give me Exports and Imports of the 1950s!
Anyways, enjoy.
Hell yeah.
My bet is that the 6 AIs are Delta, Omega, Sigma, Theta, Gamma, and TexAI(If not Tex then Beta)
Oh damn the AI's!
For some random reason I want Tucker's child to make an appearance. Just to see Rainbow's reaction.
682897
At least his memory of her, which would be almost as good as the original seeing as between epsilon having all memories and delta being able to puzzle those together they could probably make an almost perfect copy just because of the time they've spent with her.
684836
Me to.
682860
^I call shenanigans if you use that suggestion.
684350
The answer to your question is no?
Wait, how on Celestia's green equestria are they going to explain how they got Caboose, whom they just had a funeral for, back to life and just as normal? Well, normal in caboose terms of course.
686861
The same way everything can easily be explained in this damn fic.
DEALTA? CABOOSE?!
THIS IS BEST CHAPTER OF ALL TIME!
685965 pardon? i was referring to your correction on the matter of horn braking, the words at the time and trying to understand the differences between what was written and what you where correction simply hurt my (at the time drunk) brain
682997 Believe me Paper, he knows. He just does it to spite me at this point. Go back and read the Hydra chapter (I don't think he's updated it yet) and you'll see... I think it was 13 incorrect it's uses.
The other possible reason: He doesn't care, so he just leaves it for me to correct.
683197 You fool! your plan is revealled! Quickly, I must now call the Avengers, and you get turned into green goo by the hulk, and the Thing! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!
